your plants dont even look that bad, its too early to know for sure if anything is going on with your plants that is causing you to be this alarmed. If it gets worse then just water them with plain tap water if its good stuff and you read the water report. Maybe it is a slight calcium deficiency because you are distilling your water andnot adding the calcium back in but your not distilling it that long so its not that bad.

The only thing that's causing me to be this alarmed is that she has completely STOPPED growing, for the past 4-5 days. im used to seeing new growth every day...

If it's that hot where you live, I would suggest growing a Sativa strain next time as they are more suited for higher temps. An Indica likes temps up to 80...but not beyond that...looks good but too hot....so I'm goin with ^ Situation ^ :weed:

Its only because of summertime. I live in the pac-nw, and I didnt anticipate these severe heat waves when I germed my seed. It usually isnt this hot here, even during summer. Global warming is a motherfucker.

What have you been feeding it so far, and how often? It looks like over watering mixed with under feeding to me..IMO..

I'm sure it isn't overwatering. I dont even water enough to see runoff, and thats only like once every 3-4 days. The only thing it's being fed is the organic Espoma Plant-Tone in the soil, which I've read many good things about. I know she'll be alright, I just want to be able to identify and stop these problems before they get so bad that it becomes obvious what the problem is, if you know what I mean. I like when she looks pretty and grows fast :3

Okay... now I'm seriously tripping the fuck out. I just found this on my plant. its some newer growth lower down. Am I looking at some sort of mosaic virus? I roll my own cigarrettes, and I NEVER thought to wash my hands after handling tobacco.. I would be devastated if this happened to me on my first grow...

Does anybody think that this may be due to not leaching the soil? Possibly build up locking out certain nutrients? My girlfriend and I are doing our 2nd grow and we have hardly leached our soil at all. Although we have good soil and good amendments we think we may have a slight issue with too much salt from too long of not leaching. We use very good water but have gone about 4 months and never had more than a cup of water come out of any of our pots. Our plants look good but seem as if they could be healthier. Next time we water we are going to leach them out a bit and see if it helps balance out nutrient uptake. Good luck Havek!

I believe you have the beginning of salt buildup aggravated by heat stress and maybe too much wind. but your first problem is salts.
